J ane's All the World 's Aircraft 2011 -2012

China in the ascendant. At the culmination of a decade of development, the People's Republic claimed a place in the exclusive 'fifth-generation' fighter club when the Chengdu (CAC) 'J-20' made its debut flight on the eleventh day of 2011. As often is the case with China, things were not what they seemed. Another prototype, believed powered by Russian engines, almost certainly had conducted the maiden flight in secret, at a remote aerodrome, during the previous year, the events in January 2011 being a carefully organised 'leak' at a politically opportune moment for 'accidental' disclosure 1404649

Executive Overview In the interests of safety, aVIatIOn attempts to eliminate unclear, ambiguous or misleading messages. Of late, it has fai led to do so, for the followi ng tables of orders and/or deliveries offer a confused picture of the market in its second full year of the present recession. If any line of direction can be discerned, it would appear to be that those aircraft with long lead times have turned the corner and are beginning to accumulate orders which are returni ng to more usual numbers. Conversely, however, business and other ' worki ng' aircraft conti nue on the downwards slope, albeit with levelling off clearly apparent. That may also be said for private aircraft, but with the proviso that 2009's dramatic halving of deliveries leaves this sector of the market severely depressed .

urged by observers who recall Boeing's Sonic Cruiser smokescreen before the differently aligned 787 was revealed. In 20 16, Airbus plans first deliveries of its A320neo fami ly, announced late in 20 I O. This takes the A319, A320 and A32 1 (but not the poor-selling A318), adds 'sharklet' wingtips and offers a more fuel-efficient engine in the form of either CFM LEAP-X or PW I 100G. As such, it will seek to repel attacks by both the LEAP-engined COMAC C9 19 from China and Bombardier's PWII OO-engined CSeries. The latter had accumulated 90 orders by the end of 20 I 0 and remai ns dogged by regular media questioning of its viability . REG IONA L J ET ORDERS and DELIV ERIES

Ai rbus and Boeing may be regarded as the World' s airliner industry - at least, for the time being. Despite ambitious plans, Russia's contribution is unlikely to improve, especiall y in view of the decision by KAPO at Kazan to terminate its Tu-21 4 line because of a dearth of customers. The fo rmatio n cli mb-out of orders at both Tou louse and Chicago cannot be missed in the data above, and backlogs are already up to the high levels that had been achieved by 2007. This is the more surprising in the case of Boeing, whose continuing travails with the 787 cast a shadow over the company's reputation fo r efficiency and on-time delivery. Some airl ines have lost patience with the 787, but not as many as might have been expected . Whether this is th rough lack of an alternative, or a deep-seated belief that the Dream liner is worth sticking with, remai ns a matter for deliberation. By late last year, Boeing had bowed to the inevitable and conceded that the short-fuselage 787-3 was a non-starter in the marketplace and that its efforts might be better rewarded by a fu rther stretch to the -8 and -9 vers ions. Boeing's reincarnation of the 747 as the -8 Interconti nental has also had its technical troubles, and these seem to be compounded by the fac t that the company is providing its own competi tion in the form of the 777. The 747-8 order book presentl y shows little indication of repaying the heavy investment made in the new version, but it may also be that, generally, the tide is tu rn ing against four engines: Airbus' A340 is now at the end of its production ru n, even though the otherwise identical, twin-engine A330 is still bri nging in the orders. The majority of Airbus and Boeing ai rliners on backlog are the smaller A320 and 737 fa milies, for which a new round of competition beckons. Boeing has blown both hot and cold on the '797' clean-sheet successor to 737, apparently rejec ti ng it in fa vour of a less fundamental upgrade of the latter then, in February 2011 , implying it will launch a brand-new programme with Pratt & Whitney PWIOOOG geared turbofans in 2015-20 17.

First del iveries in December 20 10 launch the Bombardier CRJ 1000 into the world of revenue generation , with the down-side that its order book remained unchanged throughout 2010. The outlook for Embraer is no better than Bombardier's, save that the Brazi lian manufacturer is working hard to expand its military business as a counter to the vicissitudes of the civil market. The continuing absence of economic reality in the former Soviet Union is clearly evidenced by the An-148: a mere five aircraft, but sourced from two factories, one in Russia, the other in Ukraine. Further, this survey flinches from a statement of firm orders placed for An-1 48s in 20 10, as it is always difficult to determine, in this part of the World, exactly when a wish becomes an MoU and when that MoU becomes a firm order.

ATR gained the initiative in 20 10 with a healthy leap in orders to 80, restoring its backlog (1 59) almost to that of two years ago. Bombardier, meanwhile, has a current backlog of on ly 62, compared with 120 the same interval previously. While ATR's order book hardl y guarantees even medium-term security, it has been sufficient to prompt public musings from the company about what is to come after first del iveries in 2011 of the -600 versions of bOlh its products. The company believes that the engine and the market wi ll shortly be avai lable to launch an ATR 92 (with that number of seats), pitched in the size band which will clai m 30 per cent of the 3,000 tu rboprop airliners expected to be ordered over the next 20 years. Most certainly, the trend is towards the larger turboprop, as evidenced by the poor showi ng of ATR 42 and the fact that only the 72-seat Q400 version of Dash 8 remains in production. If Bombardier is considering a 90-seat offeri ng, it has not made its plans public, meanwhile devoting development attention to the CSeries jet, starting at 110 seats.

Annual fluctuations in the turboprop market mirror those of the business jet world with, if anything, a slight advantage to the former reflected in a 20 I 0 total somewhat closer to the 2006 figure. Caravans and TBMs show stability of deliveries; A vanti declines still further.

More mixed messages from the business aircraft world late in 20 I 0, as Bombardier and Cessna chose to launch new jet programmes, while Dassault, Piaggio and Socata continued with the long term policy of saying nothing about those known to have been on their drawing boards for several years. The Bombardier Global 7000 and 8000 and Cessna Citation TEN are, hardly, clean-sheet designs, yet they do indicate a confidence in the market which may continue to spread during 20 II. Emivest, the ' saviour' of Swearingen now needs salvation itself, having filed for bankruptcy protection and begun the search for an even richer investor - China being one promising source. Large business aircraft from Airbus and Boeing have fared well , while of the quantity manufaclUrers, Dassault and Gulfstream have both exceeded their 2008 delivery totals. At the 'entry level' , diverse performances have the Embraer Phenom 100 proceeding at full speed, while the Cessna CitationJet I + slumps to one-tenth of its 2007 total.

Only Piper is able to offer an inspiring set of figures for 20 I 0 apparently as a consequence of a drastic curtailment of production the year before - although Cirrus (about to be purchased by a Chinese company) shows notable stability with its SR22, positioned at the higher end of the privately-owned market. By stark contrast, a previous occupier of this niche, Mooney, displays a total collapse in its share, down from 75 to two in five years . Adam , Symphony and Tiger continue to promise relaunches of their products .... but not just now. QMA assets were auctioned last year, including USDY2 million paid for the Type Certificate, suggesting that the Luscombe II may yet return to production. Absent from Piper's 2010 returns is the PiperS port, despite some 60 of the type having been sold since the company announced its adoption of the CSA Sport Cruiser in January 2010. The arrangement lasted only a year and, like Leon Trotsky, the PiperSport has now been airbrushed out of history. This leaves only jawa .janes.com

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW Cessna as a 'big name' playe r in the LSA certification category, albeit with an annual prod uction total wh ich fai ls to excite. To concentrate wholly on reporting busi ness fai lures and production rate collapses would be to tell a mis leading story. An authoritative version of events comes from the General Aviation Manufacturer's Association (GAMA) whose members are cited in the reports above. GAMA MEMBE RS' DELIVERIES 2009-2010 Pistons Turboprop, Bu,iness jet' Total Shipments Total Billings

2009 963 441 870 2,274 USOI9.5 bn

2010 889 363 763 2,015 USOI9.7 bn

Change - 7.7% -1 7.7% - 12.3'k - 11.4% +1.2%

In 2008, GAMA members delivered 3,969 aircraft (2,119 pistons, 535 turboprops and 1,315 jets) valued at USD24.8 billion, this reflecting an average price of USD6.25 million each. Two years later, as the table shows, sales had slumped by 49.2 per cent, but income had fallen only by 20.6 per cent, the average aircraft then being charged at USD9.78 million. Indeed, over the past year, numbers fell II per cent while income edged marginally higher. That is not a phenomenon which is indefinitely sustainable - and it is considerably influenced by the propol1iona lly larger falling off of sales at the lower end of the market - yet it indicates that most General Avi ation manufacturers will weather the econom ic storm, if it proves to be as short in duration as those ordering airliners believe it will. Helicopter manufacturers are reticent with their delivery data, although recent losses of market appea r to be a little in excess of those of their fixed-wing colleagues, averaging slightly more than 20 per cent between 2009 and 20 10 in the case of turbine-powered machines. Piston helicopters, more dependent on pri vate owners' finances, are best exempli fi ed by Robinson, whose 893 deli veries in 2008 had declined to 433 the next year and then 152 in 2010. Looking forward in a more posi tive light, the helicopter industry has used the last couple of yea rs to increase its resea rch and development efforts, notably in the realm of increased speed. Sikorsky'S X2 was joi ned in the ai r this yea r by the Eurocopter X3 which, although suspected to ex ist, was not revealed un til after its maiden flight. Carter' s work on con vertiplanes has conti nued with another prototype, while Sikorsky launched the S-97 as the fi rst military application of its X2 tech nology. In spite of th is enthusiasm, the Bell Agusta BA609 civil tiltrotor project has shown no obv ious signs of progress, the long-promised th ird and fo urth prototypes remaini ng elusive. Other major rotary launches of 20 I 0 were restricted to the A W 169, which has applications in the law enforcement field , although it must be noted that the past yea r marked initial deliveries of the first tu rbi ne Robinson, the R66. As the murderer is revealed in the final chapter of a detective story, we realise that we have seen, but not comprehended the importance of, clues to thei r ide ntity throughout the precedi ng pages . Recent editions of this volume have been not diss imilar to works by Agatha Christie and will be vie wed in a changed li ght in future years . Scattered throughou t the Chinese section (and elsewhere) are several nascent General Aviation projects, ranging from two-seat li ghtplanes to business jets, which hold the prom ise of an explosion of GA acti vity if moved in unison along a broad front. In this connection, it may be presumed with some confidence that China is planting further clues to its intentions by using the present depressed Western market as an opportuni ty to acq uire cash-hungry programmes which can be taken East to form the basis of a new industry. Also among the Chinese entries are several 'shell ' companies whic h will soon be the homes of some ex isting programmes as reorganisation of the aerospace industry gathers pace. Already, the new Avicopter company is re-n um beri ng existing program mes in its 'AC' sequence, and it will be obvious that some closely resemble certain products of the Aerospatiale (now Eurocopter) company.

maiden flight last year, while Chi na has updated its own SH-5 large fl ying boat for a relaunch . Remarkably, China has fo und it ad visable to seek outside help in designi ng or adapting even the simplest of two-seat light aircraft for its own use. Militaril y, of course, the Chengdu J-20 'fifth-generation ' tighter is this year's big story- except that it isn ' t. Our description of the aircraft in this edition departs from .lane 's usual, strictly factual format to address some of the misconceptions appearing in the Western media - even, sad to relate, the specialist defence publications. By engineering a ' first fli ght' while the US Defense Secretary was visiting the country - making sure that there were th ro ngs of pre-alerted onlookers surrounding the manufacturer' s aerodrome while the cordon of security police turned a blind eye to the ' No Photography ' notices around the peri meter fen ce - the Chinese obtained the coup they had carefully planned , aided by credulous commentators professing shock at the unexpected appearance of a state-of-the-art Chinese figh ter. In fact, as long ago as its 2002-2003 edition All the World's Aircraft carried the first entry on what has become the J-20, initially attributing it to Shenyang, where a rival was, or still is, bei ng designed . The first picture of a wind tunnel model appeared in our 2004-2005 edition and the first accurate representation of the linal shape of the Chengdu aircraft in the 2008-2009 volume. The J-20 should ha ve come as no surprise to readers of .Iwze's All the World 's Aircraft: nor should our stated belief that the aircraft had, in all probability , been flyin g at a remote location for almost a year before its stage-managed and wholly unconvincing 'maiden sortie' on II January 20 II. We also beg to break the consensus on the aircraft's size by suggesti ng that it is smaller than pres umed by other sources . China has also been working hard on attack helicopters. We show first production examples of the WZ- I0 in army service, differing in several minor details from the prototypes and , also, less-thandistinct images of another such vehicle, apparently based on the Eurocopter-inspired, Fenestron-equi pped Z-9, but designated Z- 19. [t should rai se no eyebrows that the latter, too, made its fi rst flight in secret during earl y 20 I O. Beijing's maritime aspi rat ions are discussed in other .Ialle's yearbooks, but we need to comment, here, on the SAC J- 15, pictu red in these pages fo r the fi rst time. The J- 15 appears to be a rein vention of the Su-33 carrier-based fighter, which Sukhoi developed from its Su-27. China has a licence to bu ild the Su-27, but the J-15 was an unexpected development which left the Russian company seriously unamused. Nearer to home, the BAE Systems Nimrod Mk 4 entry is brought up to date, in preparation for de letion, following the UK government's decision to termi nate the programme. Lakes of printer's ink and untold bi ll ions of pixels have been expended on crit icism of the decision, and it must be admi tted that for a maritime nation not to have a maritime patrol aircraft is, at the very least, anomalous . [n spite of all , however, this writer believes that, had the progra mme conti nued, it would have been foun d that the aircraft was not yet entirely di vested of its seemi ngly inexhaustible store of unpleasant surprises. As those who study ai rcraft accident reports wi ll attest: In aviation, whe n two or more things start going wrong simultaneousl y, it is ti me for an urgent and fundamenta l reappraisal of one' s fligh t plan . That re-th ink could have happened with the Ni mrod more than a decade ago. Knowing when to walk away - and whe n to run - is a skill often lacking in the ranks of mili tary procurement. " Unflinch ing", is therefore the verdict on the behaviou r of India's air force, wh ich has cleared its AD A Tejas light combat aircraft for squadron serv ice after almos t three decades of development in a programme in which costs are nearly 20 times over est imate. If three decades seems an inordinate time, we might reflect on the recen t specificat ion issued by the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency for a 'flyi ng Jeep '. Where, back in the mists of time, have we heard that before? Although - just in case it does work - we describe the programme, amongst much else of interest, in the pages which foll ow .

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Notes and Acknowledgements Just as tree rings indicate the relative ri chness of successive summers, the thickness o f the printed editions of this volume will , when they are ranged on the bookshelf in years to come, stand testimony to the fin ancial health o f the aviation industry. Unsurprisi ng ly, the present printed version has shrunk in size as we have remo ved programmes which have failed to prosper over the past l 2 months. Sti ll more have been given the benefit of the doubt until next year when we shall , again, seek signs of a pulse before making the fin a l decision. That said , the 20 11 -2OI 2 edition is remarkab le for the number of new aircra ft and manufacturers which have come to our attention in defiance of the immediate economic situation. No fewer than 29 companies and 57 o f their aircraft make their debuts, compared with 57 and 94 in the previous edition, fo r an overall total of 602 (not including entries for subdiv isions of the larger firms ) and 982, respectively . That shows a fall of 23 companies and 25 aircraft hardly a catastrophe, even though 2008 was steady and the earlier years had showed sustained expansion . Everyone of the aircraft entries carried forward from the previous edition has had some addition to its content and about 98 per cent of the manufacturers' entries have needed amendment o f some kind . Even in adversity, there is news to report; production totals to amend (or static totals to comment upon) ; and the constant - often unexplained ; sometimes alarming - changes which manu facturers make to their product' s specification. Ill ustrating these matters are 1,2 11 new photographs (a small number of which appear only in the on-line edition), nine new di agrams, and 62 new general arrangement (sometimes called three-view) drawi ngs (plus 20 major rev isions and 64 minor revisions of exi sting three-views). Contributing to the updating e ffort this year has been a new member of the All th e World's Aircraft compiling team , Dav id

J an e's All the Wo rld's Aircraft 2011-2012

Willis, who is responsible for many of the factory-built General Aviation products, but is equally at home with military matters. Coincident with hailing David ' s arri val, we bid a farewell of a very fi nal nature to Maurice All ward, who was a member of the compiling team between 1968 and 1988 and thereafter served valuably by indexing the book' s contents. Maurice died on 30 December 20 I 0 - more than 66 years after the day in 1943 when he and former Jan e's editor, John Taylor si multaneously reported as new recruits to the drawing office at Hawker Aircraft. Happily still w ith us are the remaining me mbers o f our compiling team, namely Kenneth Munson, Lindsay Peacock and Susan Bushell. Their spec ialist knowledge is much appreciated by a very much general-purpose editor. Within the greater Jane's world, thanks are due to fellow editors Robert Hewson, Jam ie Hunter, Michael 1. Gething and Martin Streetly, while fro m outside, the immense contribution of Yefim Gordon must take pride of place. Rod Simpson has, again , provided items of intelligence from his travels, whi le regional contribu tors include Gerard Frawley of Australia, Mitsuhi ro Kadota of Japan and Dmitriy Komi ssarov from the CIS. Rem aining anonymous, but far from unappreciated, the Chinese aircraft enthusiasts who report on the Internet are a valuable conduit for information and photographs from a country where much is happening, but is unreported by offic ial channels. Info rmation and photographs from all the above are entered into Jane's databanks by Tracy Johnson, one o f Chan Le ' s team of in-house editors . Chris Bridge adm in isters fro m on high , as Director of Reference & Data Transformation at Jane 's . Chri s Morris and his team co-ordinate the technical aspects of publishi ng and attend to presentation on the page. Errors and omi ssions are the responsibility of the undernamed.

Editor's Biography Paul Jackson FRAeS, Editor-in-Chief, Jan e's All the World's Aircraft Receiving his first aircraft book at the age of six , Paul Jackson had become an avid enthusiast of all things aeronautical by the time he began a technical grammar school education in Hull, Yorkshire. Before the end of hi s 'teens, he had helped to found a local aviation soc iety and become editor of its monthly magazine ; had his first historical research published; and contributed to the definitive history of Blackburn Aircraft. He wrote for amateur and professional aviation journals, on both historical and current matters, for a further decade before becoming a freelance aerospace photo-journalist and author. In 1987, he was invited by John W R Taylor to join the compiling team of Jane's All the World's Aircraft, being appointed its editor in t 995. Holder of a private pilot's licence, he flies and maintains his own veteran Aeronca Chief lightplane and is chairman of a branch of the Light Aircraft Association. For 'hobbies' he photographs and draws aircraft. Paul Jackson was appointed a Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society in 2004.

Aircraft Type Classifications To ass ist comparison between different makes of aircraft undertaking broadly similar roles, the 'TYPE' classifications which introduce each a ircraft description are standardised and arranged into 13 c lasses. C lass ifi cation is according to Jane's own criteria; in some instances this may differ from a manufacturer' s description. Exact capacities and engine types and numbers for large aircraft are omitted in these shorthand description s. However. as size diminishes, such aspects assume greater impol1ance and, accordingly, are quoted. Except where the type description immediately and obv iously precludes it (for example, 'Strategic transport'), ai rcraft are assumed to be monoplanes powered by a single piston engine and propeller. Multiple engines. turboprop and jet propulsion are specifica ll y mentioned. In deference to common usage, 'jet' includes turbojets and turbofans, as more properly described in the ' POWER PL,wr' paragraph. All aircraft are Class A (or equi valent) certified/certifiable and factory-assembled, unless otherwise described; where clarification is necessary, the term ' Iightplane' is emp loyed . Ultralights and/or aircraft built from kits are specifically noted as such . However, in view of widely differing national legi slation on ultralight s, it must be noted that the term has several interpretations; the most liberal (in terms of permissible maximum weight) is used in this book. The more versati le makes of aircraft cannot be given justice in deliberately short type descriptions. Readers shou ld be aware that the ability to undertake surveillance, geological survey, VIP transport, water bombing and many other duties can be easi ly bestowed on medium transports and some other types of aircraft. Crop sprayers can be reconfigured in moments for firefighting and oil pollution dispersal. The full story will be found under the 'c "RENT VERSIONS' head ing.

Single-prop aircraft seat ing up to five persons and available on ly in complete form , unless otherwise stated. The US's LSA category includes some aircraft in Class 9 as we ll as others categorised as Ultralights. including homebuilts. A sim ilar European Union spon pilot category is under consideration, perhaps with a higher weight limit than the US.

US Light Sport Aircraft LSA rules for aircraft and Spon Pilot categorisat ion for pilots came into effect on I September 2004. There are three sub-categories . Sport Pilot Experimental: Ex isting Experimental category aircraft (including amateurbuilts, ultralights and flex-wings). Owners had the option of transfeo'ing these to Sport Pilot category registratio n before 31 January 2008. Sport Pilot - Standard: Existing aircraft with a certificate of airworthiness specifying MTOW below 558 kg (1.232 Ib), including some versions of Aeronca. Luscombe. Piper Cub and Taylorcraft. These must con tinue to be maintained to FAA cenification standards. but can be fl own by Sport Pilots. Special LSA: Factory-bui lt. ready-to-fly aircraft designed and constructed in accordance with the ASTM (American Society of Testing and Materials) consensus standards for light-sport aircraft. S-LSA aircraft do not receive FAA type certification: once the first examp le in the US has been granted a certificate of airwonhiness and that forl11 (FAA S I30-7) lodged with the Experimental Aircraft Association. the design is taken as 'approved' and funher machines are automaticall y accepted. S-LSA aircraft must con form to the following criteria: MTOW under 598 kg (1 ,320 Ib) or 648 kg ( 1,430 Ib) for water planes; stalling speed not exceeding 45 kt (S3 kmlh: 5 1 mph) : max leve l speed not exceeding 120 kt (222 km/h: 138 mph): one piston engine wi th fixed- or ground-adjustable pitch propeller: fixed landing gear (retractable allowable for water planes): and no more than two seats in an unpresslirised cockpit. Those S-LSAs approved by January 20 II ( 11 2 in total). including some not qualify ing for inclusion in Jan e's All the World's Aircraji (there are also powered parachutes. flex wings and gliders) arc given with their official US name, which may differ in some cases from the listing in Jalle's because of marketing under the name of an American agent (g iven in parenthescs. where appropriate). Although the S-LSA category is re latively new , some aircraft li sted below are no longer avai lable newly-built because of discontinued production and/or the demise of the ir manufactu rer.

International Aircraft Registration Prefixes

Trebly illustrative is this Eurocopter EC225 undergoing pre-delivery testing in France. The temporary French test registration is applied no more permanently than being written on a piece of paper stuck in a cockpit window and it is part of a block of registrations assigned to the manufacturer and frequently re-used. The letter 'W' following the national letter is, by international agreement, indicative of test status, but France is now the only country to adhere to this convention. The 'deleted' registration on the tailboom, prefixed 'VN-', indicates the helicopter's eventual destination: Vietnam. However the ICAO's official list of assigned marks still gives 'XV-' (which was the South Vietnam code until 1976) for this country (Ellrocopler) 1404635

Registration Requirements An internalio na l syste m for the identificati on o f ci vil aircraft was devised in 19 19 a nd e nshrined (with muc h else concerni ng aeri a l lranspon ) in the Co nventi on Rel aling to the Regulation of Air Nav iga tion . whi c h was signed in Paris on 13 Oc tobe r that year. This built upo n e mbryo nati o nal syste ms , most not ab ly that o f the UK which had adopted the lette r "G" as a nation a l pre fi x in M ay 19 19 fo llo wing the issue, on 30 April . of wh at are believed to ha ve been the world' s first airworthiness and registrati on requirements. Funhe r co nferences and conve ntions built upon this basis, the allocati on o f marks pass ing to the International Commi ssion for Air Nav igation (ClNA ). Toda y, Anne x 7 of the Inte rnati o nal C ivil Avi a tion Organisation (IC AO) regulations descri bes the application o f aircraft registrations in broad te rm s. National pre fi xes ha ve c hanged thro ugh the years, not only as the co nseque nce of the birth of ne w countries. but for othe r reaso ns . Examp les from the 1920s include C H- (for Switzerla nd ): R- (Argentina); and UL(Luxembourg). Lithua ni a. whe n re turned to autonomy, was assigned L Y - and not the R Y - previously used. Imple me nta t.ion of Anne x 7 is by na tion al gove rnments, whose aviation authorities ofte n have slightl y different inte rpretati ons. Vari ations mi ght include the wearin g of Italic characte rs (no t exceeding 30° slope) a nd di spensation for helicopte rs to carry sma lle r registrations. In addition, New Zealand allows serifed, variable thickness letters similar to He lve ti ca typeface and the omission of the

Albania and Kiribati are ICAO states which ha ve not notified lhe ir markin gs to the Organi sati on; Vatican City (The Holy See) and Tu va lu are non-ICAO members claiming (but not necessaril y using) na tiona l mark.ings.

In a n unprecedented move in earl y 2002, Libe ri a responded to wides pread abuse of its registe r by uncertified airc raft carry ing illegal identities and revo ked all EL- registrations.

United Kingdom 'B Conditions' Markings Many counlries ' regi stration systems include provision for aircraft undergoing special testing. or being prepared for export, to have temporary mark...ings in a reserved area of the register. In the UK, the system (indicating approval under BCAR Section A, Chapter AS-9) takes the form of the national identifying letter (G-) followed by a number to indicate the authorised manufacturer Or modification centre, followed by an individual number, usually beginning at one (for example G-90-2). The last-mentioned numbers were frequently re-used, but reallocation is now rare. Authorised users had reached 95 by 2008 ; none further by end of 2010, at which time 14 were current, as detailed below. In rece nt years, aircraft capable of carrying armament, which would have used B Conditions, have been required to carry a military serial number issued by the Ministry of Defence in the normal sequence of allocation s.

Markings currently authorised (although not necessarily used on a regular basis) are detailed in the following table. These are not 'registrations' in the strict sense of the term, as there is no central record of allocations. G-08 G-I7 G-36 G-51 G-52

International Ultralight Markings Application of identity markings to ultralights varies around Ihe world. Four basic syste ms are employed: (I) Registration in the normal sequence; (2) registration in a reserved area of the norma l sequence; (3) registration wi th the ICAO national identification leller(s) followed by a differe nt set of numbers andlor lellers to the normal sequence - which may be simi lar to local glider registrations: or (4) use of a non-ICAO prefix followed by numbers or lellers. thereby not making the country o f ori gin immediately obvious. Exmnples of the second, third and fou rth types are given in the far· from-exhaus ti ve listing below. There wi ll be some apparent duplication with the infonnation presented in the main part of this section. Note that L indicates a va riable leller and N, a variable number.

How to use Content Described on the following pages are all known powered aircraft, of which details have been received, currently in, or anticipating, commercial production in all countries of the World, apart from those built at home, entirely from plans ; and rapidly dismantled, ultralight recreational machines. Exceptions to these criteria are made in the cases of 'one-off' aircraft of technical interest- for example, those undertaking pioneering work or designed as a practical exercise by aeronautical universities. Many other of the World's aircraft remaining in service will be found in Jane 's Aircraft Upgrades which contains full descriptions of military and commercial aircraft, both tixed- and rotary-wing, that are no longer in production or are coming to the end of their production cycles, but are still in commercial and/or military service worldwide. Jane 's Aircraft Upgrades also includes subsequent upgrade programmes for featured types that maintain operational effectiveness. Some types that remain only in small-scale recreational use are not included-this embraces classic jets, as they are no longer in operational service.

Structure Preliminary to the main section are the foreword . or Executive Overview and six compilations of-it is hoped-useful information: Aircraft Type Classifications - Listing of the entire aircraft type description contents according to their role or function, thereby facilitating easy comparison of different makes of aircraft offered to fulfil the same role. First Flights - Historical record of maiden flights during the immediately previous calendar year. Aerospace Calendar - Historical record of significant aviation events during the immediately previous calendar year and concerning aircraft featured in this book. Official Records - Current holders of the more significant aviation Absolute World Records. International Aircraft Registration Prefixes - Cross reference of international civil aircraft registration allocations. Glossary - Explanation of aeronautical terms used in this book. Entries in the main, Aircraft section are in alphabetical order (a) by country (including International) and then (b) by manufacturer' s name. In the cases of manufacturers producing a diversity of aircraft, those of obvious military potential are presented first. However, it should be noted that a few of the larger constructors are divided into operating divisions, within which individual aircraft types are arranged. In the case of the multinational EADS, aircraft descriptions are in the appropriate national. or international sections.

Record Structure Company entries begin with a brief introduction, including postal address, telephone/fax numbers, e-mail and website addresses and the names of some significant executives. The last-mentioned listing is by no means exhaustive and further details will be found in Jane 's International ABC Aerospace Directory and Jane's IlIIel7lational Defence Directory. Subcontractors and suppliers to the aerospace industry appear in Jane's Aircraft Component Manufacturers, which also provides rapid references to the subcontractors involved in certain prominent aircraft programmes. Aircraft entries are subdivided under the following headings: Type - A brief description of the aircraft's function. A full list of categories appears under the heading Type Classifications. Programme - A record of key events in an aircraft's production history. In the case of significant aircraft. which may have a long and detailed development phase, a short summary lists the key dates in that phase in an easily retrievable format. Current Versions - Where applicable, details of available models (marks) and cross-reference to earlier versions now out of production. Customers - Present total on order and produced. often in tabular form, for military aircraft and those civil types for which such a list would not be of prohibitive length. Costs - Price per unit or programme price, plus any other disclosed information on R&D expenditure. Design Features - Where appropriate, opens with a broad statement of design objectives and the means by which they were achieved. This is followed by details such as aerofoil section and helicopter rotor speeds. Flying Controls - Here is described the method of controlling the aircraft, it being assumed that the reader has a basic understanding of the function of

ailerons, flaps , rudders, trim tabs and the other conventional manoeuvring surfaces (refer to 'conventional and manual' in the Glossary). Descriptions are concerned with the method by which the controls are operated (manual/powered) and appropriate control inputs determined (autopilotlfly-by-wire, for example). Structure - Configuration, materials and any special manufacturing methods; details of subcontractors or partners producing significant elements of the airframe. Landing Gear - Includes tyre sizes and pressures for wheeled aircraft, as well as ground turning circle. Braking parachutes, where filled. Power Plant - Number and power of engines; helicopter transmission ratings; fuel capacity. Brief additional details are provided in the Aero-Engines listing; fuller descriptions of turbine power plants are in Jane's Aero-Engines. Accommodation - Seating arrangements. access, environmental control and. for transport aircraft, cargo loading capacity; type of ejection seat, if filled. Systems Power generation provIsIons. de-/anti-icing equipment, pressurisationlair conditioning and similar equipment. Avionics - The entry is subdivided into communications, radar, flight aids, instruments, mission equipment (mostly military or law-enforcement) and self-defence (military). Equipment - Cargo-handling aids, sprayinglfirefighting apparatus, lighting, ballistic recovery parachutes and similar items. Armament - Fixed and air-dropped/launched weapons listed by the munufacturer as actual or potential armament. Not all items may have been cleared for carriage and not all operators will use those which have. Refer also to the Missiles listing, where appropriate. Dimensions, External - Includes door sizes and certain ground clearances. Dimensions, Internal - Includes ,Ireas and volumes where relevant. Areas - Wings, fixed tail surfaces and control surfaces. Weights and Loadings - As supplied by the manufacturer; individual aircraft may vary. Performance - Observations as above; all speeds assumed T AS unless stated otherwise. Operational Noise Levels - Internationally recognised measurements of landing and take-off sound at airports. Measurements of all types are given in both SI (metric) and Imperial units, the more common conversion factors for which are in the Glossary. Performance details are quoted in good faith and certain critical conversions ' rounded' to give a margin of safety, although Jane 's does not purport to be an alternative to the manufacturer's operating notes. In addition to the main section on aeroplanes, helicopters and lighter than air craft are others detailing Air-Launched Missiles, Aero-Engines, Propellers and Floats: Air-Launched Missiles - A rapid reference which seeks not 10 duplicate the separate and vastly more detailed Jane 's Air-Lmmched Weapons, indicating instead how the potential of aircraft described is augmented by the weapons they carry. Aero-Engines - Arranged in alphabetical order of manufacturer, irrespective of their country of origin, within the classifications of electric, piston, turboprop, turboshafl and jet engine. Propellers - This lists some of the main airscrew manufacturers and provides explanations of their designation systems. Aircraft Floats - Alphabetical list of manufacturers specialising in aircraft floats and leading particulars of their individual products.

Images Photographs are provided for each aircraft, and general arrangement ('threeview') drawings for most. Drawings include a scale bar in one of three sizes: Aircraft with a single engine are depicted against a scale of 3 metres/l 0 feet: twin-engine machines with a 7 metre/20 feet scale; and multi-engine against a scale of 10 metres/30 feet. The sole variations concern lighter-than-air craft. Images are annotated with a seven digit number which uniquely identifies them in Jane 's image database.

UK. was named one of three joint winners of the Royal Aeronautical Society Light Aircraft Design Competit ion with his Mission M212-100. Lambert Aircraft Engineering was formed in 1996 and the prototype mission M212-1 00 was fabricated in Belgium with the assistance of Steven Lambert and the original intention of undertaking lest flying at Koksijde air force base. where

the company planned to build a 3.000 m 2 (32.290 sq ft) production facility during the first half of 2004; production scheduled to start in the second half of 2004. when extra staff employed. although a maiden nighl did not take place until mid-2004; factory facilities have been built at We velgelll rather than Koksijde. Production of the M212 began during November 2006. High-wing MI061M108 has been added to portfolio. In 2007. a distributor network was initiated with the appointment of a UK agent.
